## Your task
Turn these interview notes into a customer case study for a small business such as a shop, local service or home business with 1 to 20 people. Structure: the customer, the challenge, why they chose us, the solution, results (only numbers present in the notes), and a quote taken word for word from the notes. 400 to 600 words.
## About my situation
- Who this is for: local customers, walk-in buyers and followers on WhatsApp and Instagram
- What we must respect: GST and local shop rules, a tight budget and very little staff time
- How we measure success: monthly sales and repeat customers
## What matters in Small Business & Shops
- How customers decide: most customers live or work nearby; they choose on trust, price, convenience and how well they are treated; word of mouth, Google reviews and WhatsApp matter more than ads; many pay by UPI and like asking questions on WhatsApp first.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: GST registration, invoices and returns once turnover crosses the limit (in India); shop and establishment registration and local trade licences; FSSAI licence for anything involving food; consumer-protection rules on prices, MRP and refunds; consent before adding people to WhatsApp or SMS broadcast lists.
- Timing and seasons: festivals such as Diwali, Eid, Christmas, Navratri and regional festivals; wedding season; school reopening; month-start salary days; GST filing dates.
- Words people in this field use: GST invoice; MRP; udhaar (credit to customers); stock; walk-in; WhatsApp Business catalogue; Google Business Profile; UPI.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

Why this prompt works
The “Case study from interview notes” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: case study 400 to 600 words; headline options; and a short social version. It makes the assistant work through 4 steps in order, starting with "pick the story's main result", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 4 tests and fixes anything that fails.
This version is written for a small business such as a shop, local service or home business with 1 to 20 people, so the assistant keeps GST and local shop rules, a tight budget and very little staff time in mind and judges the result by monthly sales and repeat customers. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.
How to get the best answer
- Fill every bracket with real detail: [PASTE NOTES] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
- Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
- Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
- Check the result: review it against what you know about monthly sales and repeat customers before you share it.
